First of all, Lana I agree with you about the returns.

I was not sure where to post this, but I think it should go here.
Guess who's making choreography for Brian Jouber's LP.

Maybe someone who speaks French can find out more.

Thank you Ivana. I hope someone will be able to translate the article.

Short summary of the most important facts of the article that Ivana posted:
- Albena and Maxim are in Poitiers / France since yesterday afternoon.
- Both of them are added to the "staff" of Brian Joubert who is preparing for the Olympics in Vancouver now.
- It´s the work of Albena and Maxim now to make the choreography for Brians new LP.
- Brian says that this is a new work for Albena and Maxim because they never did something like this before, but he says too that this is a big chance for a good LP. And that he trusts in Albena and Maxim.
- And Laurent Depouilly (Brians coach) added that Albena and Maxim are very creative persons.

The article cannot be scanned, so I have to trust my own knowledge of French... ... but I hope I figured out the most important...

Petra,thank you sooooooo much. You are real treasure

Ivana , thank you so much fot the article and Petra for the translation. Albie and Max to choreograph Joubert yay. I am also not very enthusiastic about the returns but Lana got the two only choices i would be more than happy to see. but i guess is too good to be true .

Petra, thank you You are great!!!
Ivana, thank you for posting the article

Oh, that's sooo nice - I would really like to see what they will do.

As to the returns - OMG - I DON"T want to see Plush and Sasha - I've got enough of them, especially of him - and Sasha - she just doesn't impress me.

And I'm afraid of thinking A&M might come back - that would be so great but I don't believe it

Wow! Thanks for the article, Ivana! It's a nice surprise .
I'm 100% sure they'll make a perfect choreographie for Brian. Aaaand... maybe I'll cross my fingers for him in Vancouver

I am very surprised by this information...First because Albena told me she did not like Brian's skating and then because I saw her at the begining of May and she did not tell me a word about that...May be she did not yet !
I'm glad may be we'll see them during French competition...

Here´s a Russian article to the same theme:

Translation by google:
"Denkova and Staviyski put an arbitrary program for Joubert in the Olympic season
French figure skater Brian Joubert will work with the double world champions in ice dancing Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviyski. They will set an arbitrary program for the talent of figure skating. Short program Joubert decided not to change.
«Albena and Maxim have never teached. It is a challenge for them and for us. This may be a disadvantage because they lack experience. But first of all it will be an enormous advantage, because they want to become famous. They give it 100%, because for them it is a great opportunity.
For some time, all have experienced due to the uncertainty. Time passed, but still remained unknown. Now everything is in order, decision is made, the music is chosen », - said Joubert.
Talent of figure skating coach Laurent Depouilly also demonstrates confidence.
«This is not the choice of« default ». Albena and Maxim are creative people, and very modern in their approach to choreography. This can only help Brian to create a winning program », - told Depouilly.
Joubert will take part in the Grand Prix in Moscow, where his opponent almost certainly will be Evgeny Plushenko.
«Return of Plushenko brings me pleasant memories. For me this is very interesting - again to meet him at the beginning of the Olympic season. It takes hundred percent return », - quoting Jouberts community« Brian Joubert in Russian », with reference to La Nouvelle Republique."

Wow! Thanks fo the news .Now the question is...I love Plush, love Joubert, love Albie and Max...Who to support first? Heeeelp!

Just a little correction in google translation of the russian article

"arbitrary program" is actually the free program. I think it changes a bit the meaning.

Thank you for the correction, dear Vania!!!
